Wisdom From The Elders<\/h2>\n
Pride has increased and spread among people so much and has become so malignant that sometimes not only an offensive word, but even an offensive glance or a gesture that only seems offensive is enough to make people hardened, irreconcilable enemies. Archbishop Averky (Taushev)<\/strong><\/p>\nIt sometimes happens that a person in despondency thinks to himself that it would be easier for him to be destroyed, or to be without any feeling and consciousness, than to remain any longer in this unaccountably tormenting state of mind. One should try to get out of it as quickly as possible. Beware of the spirit of despondency, for it gives birth to every evil. St. Seraphim of Sarov<\/strong><\/p>\nThe holy fathers express this same thought in a short but powerful way: “Give blood and receive the Spirit.” This is common law for all who seek salvation. Abbot Nikon Vorobiev<\/strong><\/p>\nNever form a close friendship with someone who enjoys noisy and drunken feasts, or who likes telling dirty stories, even though he may have been a monk for many years. Do not let his filth defile you; do not fall under the influence of people who are unclean and uncircumcised in heart. St. John of Karpathos<\/strong><\/p>\nIf the Son of God Himself was made guilty of sin, though He was sinless, then you, too, must accept blame for all sins with meekness and love (for you are really sinful of all sins), and accept blame humbly and submissively, even for those sins of which you are not guilty. Righteous John, Wonderworker of Kronstadt<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen we ask for repentance from God for everyone in the world, we must include ourselves among those who have need of repentance and must never say, “Lord, help the people who are sinners.” Saint Paisios of Mount Athos<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How should we pray for the sick? Remember them daily. Say their names (first names are sufficient) and ask God to bestow mercy and grace on them.<\/p>\n

EPISTLE<\/h4>\n
For the Twenty-First Sunday after Pentecost<\/p>\n
O Lord, how magnified are Thy works.
\nIn wisdom hast Thou made them all.
\nBless the Lord, O my soul.<\/p>\n
The Reading from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Galatians. (2:16-20)<\/p>\n
\nBrethren, you know that a man is not justified by works of the Law but through faith in Jesus Christ. Even we have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the Law, because by works of the Law shall no one be justified. But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we ourselves were found to be sinners, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not! But if I build up again those things which I tore down, then I prove myself a transgressor. For I through the Law died to the Law, that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ Who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, Who loved me and gave Himself for me. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
GOSPEL<\/h4>\n
For the Ninth Sunday of Luke<\/p>\n
The Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke. (12:16-21)<\/p>\n
\nThe Lord spoke this parable: \u201cThe land of a rich man brought forth plentifully; and he thought to himself, \u2018What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?\u2019 And he said, \u2018I will do this: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, be merry.\u2019 But God said to him, \u2018Fool! This night your soul is required of you; and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?\u2019 So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.\u201d As He said this, Jesus called out, \u201cHe who has ears to hear, let him hear.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
